Okay, I know by running 19" wheels with a +22 offset with 9.5 front 10.5 rear will be the easiest route when considering having to roll fenders and adjust camber. However I've been thinking about going with 18" wheels 9.5 front 10.5 rear instead of 19". I was wondering if anyone knows which offset would be the best to go with in these with the least amount of modifications. In otherwords, which offset for 18's is the equivalent to the 19" +22 offset or is + 22 the same in 18's? I'm kind of lost when it comes to the difference concerning wheel diameter and offset and whether a large wheel diameter changes the offset. I'm not looking for an extreme offset.

Offsets available in 18" 9.5f and 10.5r in this wheel are
+30
+22
+15
+0

 

offset is just how tucked or how far the wheel is from the wheel hub mounting surface. going with the 18 inch +22 or the 19 inch +22 will still have the same effect as to where the wheel sits..the wheel is just smaller..if you dont want to do fender work go with +22 depending on how low you are..but if i went with the 18 inch i would get the +15 and do a mild roll.

 

Like ^ said. Offset is just the distance measured from the wheel center to the mounting pad of the wheel.
Positive offset means the mounting pad is offset closer to the face of the wheel, and negative offset means the mounting pad is offset closer to the inner lip of the rim.

Wheel diameter plays no role.

 

Thanks for the info. I understand offest, just didn't know whether wheel diameter had a different effect on offset such as if a 18x10.5 inch wheel with a +22 offset is more aggresive than a 19x10.5 wheel with +22. But it seems diameter has makes no difference. Now if I have a 1 to 1.5 inch gap between wheel and fender, could I run a +15 or even a +12 without rolling the fenders or adjusting the camber?

 

From everyones experience a +15 and +12 will need atleast a mild roll..ill be rolling mine flat..that's if you run the normal 245 275 setup which you should since stretched tires on a +12 don't look that good..and also depends on how low you are

 

18", 19", 15" it's all the same. They will fit the same as far as offset goes.

What is your suspension set-up? Is it stock?

Wheels of the same offset, diameter, and width will fit differently on a lowered car vs stock height car.

What gap are you measuring? What are your current wheel specs?

 

Anything lower than a +22 will require rolling the fenders unless you stretch the tires but 245F and275-285mm rears will require a roll on a +12 or +15.

 

My suspension is stock for right now. I'm looking at lowering it just a little. I don't want it slammed, been there done that before and didn't really like it. How about if you get +22 and put 5mm spacers on it and bring it to +17. I saw where someone on here did it and it brought the wheels out flush, but didn't mention whether or not they had to roll the fenders or not.

 

I'm looking at the same setup as well but I don't really want spacers. Guess I might have to go with the +12. I thought I saw someone on facebook, it might've been on the Varrstoen page that said he was running +12 and didn't have his fenders rolled, not sure how accurate that is though.

 

I've only seen 1 person run +12 without a fender roll but they did need to...running a 275 or 285 rear will need a fender roll..especially if u want camber settings fixed

 

I've notice ya'll have all mentioned the rear fenders having to be rolled with +12, and anything 275 or 285. Do the front fenders not have to be rolled at all then with +12?
